In chemical compounds, covalent bonds form when

• the electronegativity difference between two atoms is very large.
• electrons are completely transferred between two metals.
• pairs of electrons are shared between two nonmetal atoms.
• two nonmetal atoms are attracted to each other by opposite charges.

Rank these in order of strength (strongest first):

van der Waals (London)

hydrogen bond

dipole-dipole attraction

• dipole-dipole>hydrogen bond>vdW (London)

• vdW>dipole-dipole>hydrogen bond>covalent bond

• hydrogen bond>dipole-dipole>vdW
